Welcome to the Durham FM Association
The Durham FM Association is a group of friendly amateur radio operators interested in all aspects of amateur radio service. Members in Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and surrounding areas of North Carolina enjoy operating through VHF and UHF repeaters sponsored and maintained by the club.
Currently the club operates FM voice repeaters on 145.450-, 147.225+, 224.260-, 444.100+ and 444.450+ mhz(the plus and minus indicating standard offsets on the respective bands).
We meet on the 1st Tuesday of the month (see Calendar) with Dinner (optional) at 6:00pm and the business meeting and program at 7:00pm. We are meeting at Bullock's BBQ, on 3330 Quebec Drive in Durham. [click for map] (For more info on each meeting, check the Calendar entry.)
Our club runs a great hamfest toward the end of May each year. The DurHamFest was held in the Little River Community Complex the last three year and is expected to be there again in 2010. Dealers sell new and used equipment, books, and parts. "Tailgaters" also offer much used equipment. Besides the buying, selling, and trading, door prizes and fellowship with old and new friends make this a real fun event.
This web page is a work in progress. Please give us feedback at the meeting telling us what you do and don't like on this web site. Thanks!

On Sunday, December 6, we will be participating in the Parkwood Christmas Parade. Last year the Club drove the MCU in the Bahama Christmas Parade and all of the participants had lots of fun. (See the picture gallery). We will be assembling in the Parkwood Shoping Center on Revere Road in Durham at 1:00pm to stage before the final lineup. I you just want to come and watch, the actual parade begins at 2:00PM. We can use additional help. People are needed to walk alongside of the MCU during the parade to hand out candy. Bringing a bag of candy will also be a big help.
Please send email to Randy McCray, K4XRM (new call -- former KE4UCM) if you plan to participate. You cans use: rwmccray at gmail dot com for contact.

Continuing a tradition of having the DFMA pick up the tab for our December Holiday Dinner Meeting, we will meet at Bullock's Barbecue Restaurant in Durham starting at 6:00pm. You will be able to order from the menu. This is our Holiday Meeting! In that tradition you may (optionally):
 Bring a Christmas gift for a child to be distributed to Durham's needy. If wrapped, mark gender and age range on the outside. (Last year DSS expressed a preference for not having the gifts wrapped -- a gift bag would work, though.)
The Club will make its annual gift to the Durham Rescue Mission. We will be passing the "hat" for additional personal contributions to that cause.
